I’d be for that to get the “common man” to run for office but they would have to cut their salaries to satisfy me. Can’t afford two mortgages or the expenses of two households on what - $170,000+ per year? Poor babies.

I have a better idea. If Congress confined itself to legitimate Constitutional powers, it could get all of its work done in 2-3 weeks.

People financially supported his campaign and supported it in other ways. Citizens went out and voted for him. What does he do for them? Quits.
He was given the opportunity to express his views. He should put a sock in it now.
He’s a clown show.

Build a spartan Congressional barracks facility in Washington and be done with it.

Build them a dorm. Don’t buy every congresscritter a house in the DC area.

... and I think these people should be docked $2,500 for every day they don’t actually accomplish anything.

“”members who cant afford two mortgages or rents.””
Here’s an Idea! Go home, everything but the vote can be handled from your districts.
To: DoodleDawg
The extra money would just raise rents further.

And that salary doesn’t include the cost/worth of their benefits.

In the 40s, freshmen congressmen often lived in boarding houses when in DC, I know because my grandmother operated one and had several stay there from time to time.
Worked then, would work now.
